Before conking out last night, I watched the few YouTube excerpts I could find of productions of Dark of the Moon, and I didn't think a single one of them equaled or bettered the cast and production I saw yesterday. In comparison, the one here absolutely brought out the spookier elements, and the depiction of the Appalachian people was more subdued and, yes, more "dark". In retrospect, the mood of the local one makes me think of the more eerie pastoral elements of The Night of the Hunter. I really wish I'd been able to see it earlier in the run, and return for a second shot at it.
